It's a hard life...

There were 2 classic moments from Saturday’s match, which I feel compelled to highlight, both involving the somewhat luckless Ricardo Scimeca. Firstly he was elbowed in the face by none other than his own Captain Darren Purse, whose attempt to smash Andy O’Brian’s already large nose was thwarted when Scimeca got in the way.

The second occurred when Scimeca threw himself in front of a Patrick Kluivert shot and successfully blocked the ball with his groin. Lying curled up in agony on the deck, the bloke sat behind me suggested how the West Brom physio should deal with the situation, by shouting: “Count them and get him off”.

Harsh.
